Dead Lovers' Sarabande (Face Two) cover art

Continuing directly from its predecessor, the second installment of Anna-Varney Cantodea's grand, tragic opus plunges further into despairing theatricality. The intricate arrangements of strings, brass, and woodwinds underscore her tormented vocal performances, completing a haunting, deeply depressive monument within the European darkwave scene.
